WHY LATINOS CAN'T BE TERRORISTS...
1. 8:45 am is too early for us to be up.
****I know a few.
2. We are always late; we would have missed all 4 flights.
****I know MANY.
3. Pretty people on the plane distract us.
****Guilty, when I was younger!.
4. We would talk loudly and bring attention to ourselves.
****I "know" MANY.
5. With food and drinks on the plane, we would forget why
we're there.
6. We talk with our hands; therefore we would have to put
our weapons down.
****Most people I know "talk" with their hands.
7. We would ALL want to fly the plane.
8. We would argue and start a fight in the plane.
****Seen it, many times.
9. We can't keep a secret; we would have told everyone a
week before doing it.
****Indeed. Funny.
AND MY FAVORITE.....
10. We would have put our country's flag on the windshield.
****See it all the time.
ARE YOU A LATINO? HOW CAN YOU TELL FOR SURE?
1) If you have ever been hit by a "Chancleta"
****No dominican, IMO, have not been hit at least once!.
2) If you grew up scared by something called El Cuco or La
Llorona.
***I can still hear my grandma talking about them in SD.

just talking.
****I know a few "loudies"

before your big test.

5) If you use your chin to point something out.
****Still do, sometimes.

for dinner, even if it's a one bedroom apartment.
****Seen it, many times.
8) If you can dance merengue, cumbia or salsa without
music.
****Still do.
9) If you use "Manteca" instead of olive oil and can't
figure out why your nalgas are getting bigger.
****Not touching this one.
10) If you are in a five passenger car with seven people in
it and a person is shouting "subanse, todavia caben mas!"
****See it every single time I go to the DR!. FUNNY!.
11) If whenever you feel under the weather, you
compulsively dab on some "Vic's vapor rub" all over your
pecho and inside your nostrils.
****Still do that.

you've just turned thirty-two.
****Know of a few.
